True Mother’s Letter to True Father

True Mother has written a letter to True Father which was read during the Seonghwa Festival Commemorating the 7th Anniversary of the Ascension of True Father on August 17, 2019, by Mrs. Jeong Wonju, Chief of Staff, True Mother’s Secretariat

Beloved Father! How
we miss you! Father you are always with us! It is already seven years since
your Holy Ascension to the heavenly realms. There is no place in heaven and
earth untouched by your sweat and tears. On this day, we particularly long for
you.

Father, one year
before your ascension, even though you were more than 90 years of age, you
visited the United States eight times. Refusing to care for your health, you
invested yourself completely for the sake of the world and for humanity. The
words you said, “Mother, once we finish this task and there is little else to
do, then, let us take a short break,” never came true on earth in the end. Father, you worked day and night and, since I
lived my life in attendance to you, I did not sleep more than three hours a
night throughout my life.

During the
sweltering summer of 2012, you were hospitalized for the final time, but even
then you rebuked those who recommended you to stay in hospital, saying, “There
is still so much to do. Why are we spending so much time at the hospital!” You
then hastened to return to Cheon Jeong Gung. You instructed, “Today, set the
table for two, with Mother facing me.” Hearing you say this, the members were very
puzzled, because you always sat by my side for meals.

Although the lunch
table had been set, Father, you did not once lift your spoon. Instead, all you
did was gaze into my face. Father, I think that you were most likely engraving
my face in your heart. I smiled, placed a spoon in your hand and some side
dishes on your rice. Then, I continued to gaze at you as you ate. Father, I
also engraved your face in my heart.

The day when the
rays of the sun were particularly strong, you carried an oxygen tank the size
of a full-grown person and toured the Cheongpyeong Lake area, beginning with
the Cheongshim International Middle and High School. Then, after returning to
Cheon Jeong Gung, you prayed, “Heaven, please give your blessing. I beseech you
to allow me to conclude things.” Then, you requested that a voice recorder be
brought. You offered your last prayer with me, saying, “I have completed the
mission of the providence of restoration.”

Father, following
your Holy Ascension, I came to Bonhyangwon at dawn every day.

There were countless
excuses or reasons why I might have rested and not visited you; but whether it
snowed abundantly in the winter or rained torrentially in the fall, I came to
Bonhyangwon each day in those early morning hours. For 40 days after you ascended,
I offered you breakfast and dinner. When I missed you, which was on numerous
occasions, I came to Bonhyangwon and talked with you. Through these
conversations, your thoughts became my thoughts and my thoughts became yours.

Whether the sun beat
down, the wind blew, or thunder and lightning suddenly struck and torrential
rain poured down, or whether snow blanketed the land, for 1,095 days following
your ascension I carried on offering my devotions in remembrance of you. I also
retraced the 5,600 kilometers you traveled from Las Vegas to New York in the
United States in the 1970s. I climbed the 12 mountains we had climbed together
in the Alps. Then, I resolved to fulfill the promise I made you to “return to
the spirit of the early days of the church and revive the church in the spirit
and the truth.”

Then, on the 3rd
anniversary of your Holy Ascension, I beseeched you to freely ascend to the
eternal Bonhyangwon, to attend and comfort Heavenly Parent who had been lonely
until then, and to be free from all burdens. Then, for you, Father, and for
Heavenly Parent, I resolved to succeed in the restoration of 7 nations by 2020.

East to west, south
to north, I ran with all my might, seeking to embrace the world. My mouth was
sore, my legs were swollen…I could barely stand, yet I could not rest. This was
because, however difficult realizing the Will may be, I had to keep the promise
I had made to you that I would conclude everything within my lifetime. I lived
each day reaffirming my resolve that I would “fulfill this without fail.” And that
“to do so, I shall not change.” Every time I desperately missed you I looked to
the moon for companionship and spoke with it, reminding myself of the promise I
had made to you as I stood before your holy body, “I will firmly establish
Cheon Il Guk by the time I ascend.”

Living this way,
seven years has already passed since your Holy Ascension.

Father, you know,
don’t you? Following your Ascension, I felt lost for words, in a position where
I was the only one remaining. My heart felt as if I were in a vast desert in
the midst of a sandstorm, having to find a needle yet unable to open my eyes.
Nonetheless I found it. I had to find it.

“2020년까지 7개국을 반드시 복귀하겠다.”는 저의 결의는,

“모든 축복가정을 신종족메시아로서 천보에 입적케 하겠다.”는 저의 결의는,

아버님을 위한 제 선물입니다. 이 선물이, 하늘부모님에 대한 당신의 효정의 삶이 온누리에 희망의 빛이 되기를 기도합니다.

My resolve to
absolutely restore seven nations by 2020, my resolve to register all blessed
families in Cheon Bo Won as Heavenly Tribal Messiahs, these are my gifts to
you, Father. I pray that this gift, your life of hyojeong for Heavenly Parent, can shine rays of hope throughout the
world.

How beautiful this letter! It teaches us so much and we can see the clear vision of heaven reading it. I followed the True Father’s seunghwa in direct with internet from France. It was so beautiful! At first i thought only to see the pledge but for some reason i stayed and waited for the event. It was so beautiful that it is still vivid in my mind and i stayed until 6am when they had to go to lunch! How beautiful is the creativity of our members first and second gen! How much music is a peace maker and a great healer! Absolutely we must use m usic to go to people’s heart! This is what can waken up the most miserable person!
Thank you so much for this new technology which allows us to be together with these kind of event. Maybe one day someone will create a device with which we can call our departed beloved like when we use what’app or skype! I am sure someone is working on it on earth as in Heaven great scientist working together!
Warm greetings to you beloved True Mother! You are such a great exemple! We are far from your level but we are blessed to have such a compass linking us to True Father and Heavenly Parents and to a world of grace, creativity and joy!
warm greetings to all our members working on the front line!
